This year I wanted to make my Gingerbread house a little more “simple”, only decorating it with white royal icing. I have used different styles of piping details inspired by the Gingerbread houses from Martha Stewart. It is very Scandinavian, I think ;-)

Like last year, I have added electric lights inside the house and I think it looks so charming when the lights burst out through the windows. I always give the Gingerbread house to my MIL and she only just threw out, last years gingerbread house a couple of month ago. So I am a bit excited, to see how long she will keep this one :-)

Happy Caking and Merry Christmas to all of you!

    Your gingerbread is SO cute! I love the all white icing. You should stop by and see the cookies I made for the cookie party I had. You will be able to appreciate them. Have a great Holiday season!

    I love your gingerbread house. So simple and not covered with those weird neon candies that come in the kits. Your house puts mine to shame. Mine has no windows (the icing hardened to fast) so I named it my gingerbread shed.
    I’m definitely going to keep your style in mind for next year.
    Merry Christmas!
